I'd say two weeks at the very most. Allison
In my opinion, and it's only mine, I think if a person hasn't downloaded a book that he/she has requested in two weeks at the longest, it's up for grabs. But since I see you're respondoing to my post (smile) I assume you want others' opinions as well. Hey, guys -- let's set s standard here. How long should a "save for" book be saved? Presumably the person for whom it's being saved has been told it's on the download list and can get it within two or three days, let alone one or two weeks.

I would say it's definitely time to ignor the Save note. In my opinion, if the person who asked for something to be saved for him/her hasn't taken it within a week or two, ignore the save. A person can always download such a book and keep renewing it if they want to validate it and don't have the time yet.
